Ridesharing Now: How millennials can help bring change to our region

Greater Vancouver is the largest metropolitan region in North America without access to ridesharing services.

As a growing technology hub facing increasing pressures on transit, transportation, housing, and infrastructure, the need for ridesharing has reached a critical point.

Our communities deserve safe, reliable transportation options — and it's not just Lower Mainland residents that will benefit. Ridesharing services will bolster our transportation system, our recruitment opportunities, and long-term community building across British Columbia. 

Join the Members of the Leaders of Tomorrow (LOT) and Company of Young Professionals (CYP) programs, to hear from representatives of the Ridesharing Now for BC coalition.

Why you need to attend?
  • Learn more about ridesharing, how to get involved, and ask questions from leaders in the field.
  • Meet likeminded young professionals and business leaders interested in bringing ridesharing to B.C.
  • The voice of millennials is important! The B.C. Government needs to hear from you about why ridesharing must be brought to the province now.
